Join members of the migrant community and local organisations this Sunday, 25 February, 3pm at Hamrun Square to march to Parliament in Valletta and demand:

Kusi’s immediate release from detention and the release of individuals who, like Kusi, have been living in Malta for over 5 years and more, and have also been recently detained with a view to deportation.

an end to government raids that detain and threaten to deport long-standing, law-abiding members of our community.

and the re-introduction of a residence permit scheme, similar to the Specific Residence Authorisation, which grants people that have long contributed to the Maltese economy and community some stability and peace in their lives.
